The last time the Bruins and Tigers met on the field was in the opening round of the 2013 College World Series.

The Tigers will face the UCLA Bruins at 6:00 p.m. Both teams won their opener; Monday’s winner is one win from the CWS finals.

Bird (2-1) was brought from the bullpen in the bottom of the sixth of Colorado's 10-1 win over the Braves Sunday. Bird entered with a 1-0 lead and immediately gave up a single to Ronald Acuna Jr. Austin Riley singled to left, advanced to second and Acuna Jr. was thrown out at home.

As many teams have relied more on the transfer portal, UCLA baseball is reliant on star sophomores like Roch Cholowsky.
